In this day and age, fixed line phones have become understandably less popular. However, that doesn’t mean that businesses and some individuals are still not going to look for fixed line solutions. A Japanese telecom company called Nakayo recently announced that they will be releasing an IP Home Phone that comes complete with an integrated 7 inch Android tablet like Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Tab. This allows users to receive a call and pick up the handset in order to speak.

If you would like to make a call, all you have to do is pick up the handset and use the touch screen tablet device that is connected to the handset in order to make a call. You also will not have to use the handset in order to make a call. Instead, you can take the tablet out of the device, walk around with it, and speak into the microphone, all while using the Android tablet to complete other tasks.

The tablet will be able to be used completely independently from the handset itself, and can also be used to browse the web. The tablet will also come with features, including a front facing video camera that will allow you to make video calls. The tablet feature Wi-Fi IEEE802.11b/g, with an exceptional touch screen that displays in 800x480 resolution and will feature a camera and a USB port.

The company will likely mostly target businesses with this device, since most individuals and homes are getting rid of their home phone and are not taking one on. It is an interesting device that could be the first in a line of many home phones that come complete with a tablet. The company has said that they hope to sell more than 30,000 devices within two years, but it is clear that this device, and similar devices, have the potential for much more.
